HOW DID YOU FIRST GET EXPOSED TO CROSSFIT? Take us back to your first WOD.... what was it, anyhow did it feel?
I showed up for a Baseline and got hooked! Before CrossFit, I had never really done a workout that used so many varied dynamic movements and athletic modalities, When it came to weightlifting, I remember being very intimidated by the bar and heavy weights, at first. But I soon realized that the focus on improving technique and emphasis on safety with CrossFit Absecon would get me through the class. After only a few weeks of training I realized that I was getting stronger! I can't remember by first PR but I know it was a good feeling!
I think Crossfit gives each student the ability to grow at their own pace and take on challenges and accomplish personal goals. For example, I remember getting through a 6-day WOD challenge that I set out for myself with support from the Coaches. I think by integrating athletic systems like the West side Barbell Conjugate method and nutrition programs like Whole30, Crossfit Absecon has the power to completelI have felt gains in strength, power, speed, endurance, and overall mental toughness as a result of training CrossFit. Participating in the “Bar Fight”, Weightlifting Meet at Crossfit Absecon was also a big accomplishment for me.y change the way you approach health & fitness.
